Watch Gears Birthday!

Hello! Yay it's the weekend! :> And it's beyond beautiful here! It's supposed to get to plus 26 Celsius here today! Absolutely crazy here in March! :> But we are enjoying it! Last night Chad went out with some guys for a guys night so I invited my girlfriend over with her three girls! We had a nice relaxing evening and the kids had a lot of fun!

Today I have a card to share using a new stamp Watch Gears by Hero Arts! I really love this stamp for making masculine cards. This is a card I made for my Father's in laws birthday!

I embossed with chestnut zing powder the watch gears onto a white card. Than I embossed it again onto some patterned paper by Authentique and paper pieced some of the gears and popped it up with foam squares. Distressed with antique linen ink by ranger and tied some twine and there you go a masculine card! :>

Happy St Patricks Day! My card isn't a St Patricks day card but it does have green on it! :> Do you celebrate? Us not so much. I had thought to make the kids green pancakes but Ariel is feeling a bit under the weather so it doesn't seem like the greatest idea! My kids have not been sick very much this school year, when they do it's very slight and not that bad and they get better so fast! :> Yay to healthy kids! :> Although she did want to cuddle this morning and I very much enjoyed it! :>

I hope that you have a great weekend! I've gotten lots of new stamps lately and am happy that I feel like my mojo has returned. It went on strike for a bit and I was frustrated, I really enjoy creating! Yesterday I made a card that I love and felt so happy! I will share it later this week. :> I love the feeling creating something that you love brings, you really realize that when you've lost your creativity for a bit! :>

Well I am off to go get mud off the kids rain boots! :>It's that time of year!

I've been trying to find my mojo lately too, Anita. Looks like yours is back with a bang! Love this fabulous card for your father-in-law! Are you joining the 90-minute scramble later today? Hope so! Hugs! :)

Wonderful masculine card, Anita! I have quite a few Zing powders, but not that one--may have to get it now. I know what you mean about not feeling creative--took me 3 days to put a card together. Maybe I'm trying too hard. Enjoy your w/e! Hugs, Greta

New stamps always make me happy.. I got a lot on Friday and am itching to try them out... blast having to work this week! Could easily stay home and craft. I really like the card you did for your FIL. Super masculine stamps
